MOVEMENT

1. Declare charges
Indicate which units are charging and nominate the enemy unit which they are
going to charge. Take Panic tests for any units that are in close combat that will
be charged in the flank or rear. Opponent chooses one of the following charge
responses:
Stand and Shoot You may stand and shoot if the chargers come from more
than half their charge move away. Work out casualties immediately.
Hold The unit stands and takes the charge.
Flee! The unit turns tail and runs. Models are moved immediately 2D6" away
from the enemy if their Movement is 6" or less or 3D6" if their Movement is
more than 6".
2. Rally fleeing troops
Troops that fled in a previous turn can be rallied by passing a Leadership test.
A unit must have at least 25% of its original number of models surviving to rally.
Rallied troops may not move or shoot this turn but may adopt any formation
facing the enemy. Rallied characters may cast spells as normal. Units with
Musicians will gain a +1 Ld bonus in any attempt to rally (max. Ld=10).
3. Compulsory moves
Units subject to compulsory movement must be moved now.
4. Move charges
Chargers make a double move towards the target unit and must bring as many
models into combat as possible. Chargers may not turn or change formation,
but can wheel once to bring more models into contact with the enemy.
However, the unit need not do so if this means that it would not reach its target.
Once a unit reaches the enemy it halts and is aligned with its opponent to form
a neat battle line. If a charging units target has fled but is still within charge
range it is destroyed. If the target unit flees out of reach or the charge move is
too short, the charge has failed. Move the charging unit its normal Movement
unless another unit is also within range, in which case the charge may be
redirected against this new target. A charge may only be redirected once. Units
which fail to complete a charge may not shoot, although a Wizard is free to cast
spells as normal.
5. Remaining moves
Any remaining units may now move. Units may move in a straight line or may
manoeuvre. There are four types of manoeuvre:
Wheel
Units can pivot around one corner. Measure the distance travelled by the
outside model. A unit may wheel several times in a turn as long as it has enough
movement. A unit may wheel once in a charge to bring models into combat.
Turn
A unit that is not charging or marching may turn 90 or 180 by surrendering a
quarter of its move. Note that each individual model turns in place; the unit as
a whole does not move. Leaders, Standard Bearers and Musicians are then
moved to the units new front rank.
Change formation
A unit may increase or decrease the number of ranks it is deployed in by one at
a cost of half its move. It may increase or decrease its ranks by two if it does not
move at all.
Reform
If it is not in close combat, a unit may reform into as many ranks as it wishes
and face in any direction it wishes. If a unit reforms it cannot move at all and
may not shoot in the Shooting phase, but Wizards are free to cast spells as
normal.
Marching
A unit can march if there are no unbroken enemy models within 8" at the start
of the Movement phase. It can, however, move to within 8" of enemy units
during its march. A marching unit moves at twice its Movement characteristic
and the only manoeuvre it may attempt is the wheel; it can neither change
formation nor turn. It may not move through difficult terrain or cross obstacles
and must stop if it reaches such features. A unit which is marching cannot shoot
in the Shooting phase, but Wizards are free to cast spells as normal.
PSYCHOLOGY
Except for hatred and frenzy, where no test is necessary, tests
for psychology are taken against Leadership. Roll 2D6 if you
score equal to or less than the troops Leadership value you
have passed.
Panic
A unit which fails a Panic test will flee in the same way as a unit
broken in close combat or a unit which flees when charged. A unit
must take a Panic test in the following circumstances:
1 - Fleeing friendly unit is within 4" at the start of the turn.
2 - Friends within 6" break from close combat or are destroyed.
3 - The unit is charged in the side or rear whilst engaged in combat.
4 - Fleeing friends within 4" are destroyed by chargers.
5 - The unit suffers 25% casualties from shooting or magic.
6 - A unit is wiped out by shooting within 4".
Fear
A unit defeated in close combat by an enemy that it fears is
automatically broken without a Break test if it is outnumbered.
1 - Test to overcome fear if charged by an enemy that causes fear. Make
this test once the enemy declares his charge. If the tester fails to
overcome fear then he must ee if outnumbered by the attackers. If
not outnumbered, then a unit which fails its Fear test may ght on,
but requires a 6 to hit during the rst turn of combat.
2 - Test if you wish to charge a fear-causing enemy. If you fail the test
then you may not charge and must remain stationary for the turn.
Terror
Only one Terror test is ever taken by a unit during the game once
it has been taken no further Terror tests are required. Troops which
fail their Terror test will ee immediately exactly like troops
broken in combat or fleeing from a charge.
1 - Test to overcome terror if charged by or wishing to charge an enemy
that causes terror.
2 - Test if there is a terror-causing enemy within 6" at the start of your
turn.
Stupidity
Test at the start of each turn. If troops fail their test:
1 - If in close combat, half the creatures stop ghting.
2 - If not in close combat, move the unit directly forward at half normal
speed.
Frenzy
Troops affected by frenzy must behave as follows.
1 - Frenzied troops must charge enemy within charge reach.
2 - Frenzied troops ght with +1 extra Attack.
3 - Frenzied troops always pursue.
4 - Frenzied troops are immune to other psychology.
5 - If defeated in combat they are no longer frenzied.
Hatred
Troops fighting in close combat with a hated foe behave as follows:
1 - Troops may re-roll any misses in the first turn of close combat.
2 - Troops must pursue hated enemies who flee.
Stubborn
Stubborn troops behave as follows:
1 - Stubborn troops take all Break tests on their unmodified Leadership
value. They do not reduce this value regardless of any combat
results, how many casualties they have suffered or other combat
bonuses.

CLOSE COMBAT
1. Fight combats
Resolve each combat one at a time. The player whose turn it is will
determine the order of the combats.
Order of combat. Charging units strike first. Otherwise, models strike in
order of Initiative.
Roll to hit. Check on the To Hit chart to find the score needed on a D6 to
hit. When fighting against cavalry, all blows are struck against the rider
using the riders Weapon Skill. A mount uses its own Weapon Skill if it has
its own Attack.
Defended obstacles. Models behind or in defended obstacles can only be
hit on a roll of a 6, regardless of relative Weapon Skills. Once attackers win
a round of combat, further combat rounds are fought as normal.
Roll to damage. Cross-reference the attackers Strength versus the
defenders Toughness value on the To Wound chart to find the score
required on a D6 to cause a wound.
Take armour saves. Roll a D6 for each wound that is caused. A roll of 1 is
always a failure.
Remove casualties. Remove casualties from rear ranks. Removed models
do not get to attack if they have not already done so.

2. Combat results
Add up the number of wounds caused by each side in the combat and add
any modifiers that apply from the following list. The side with the higher
score has won the combat.
Combat resolution bonuses
+1 per rank after the first, to a maximum of +3.
+1 unit outnumbers the enemy.
+1 Standard Bearer in front rank.
+1 unit occupies higher ground.
+1 Flank attack. If both flanks are engaged the modifier will still only be +1.
+2 Rear attack. Combined with a flank attack, this gives a +3 bonus.
+1 Overkill. A challenger who kills his opponent and inflicts more wounds than the
enemy has adds +1 to the combat result score for each excess wound caused (max +5).
3. Losers take Break test
The losing unit in a combat rolls 2D6 and adds the difference between the
combat results. If the score is greater than the units Leadership value the unit
has broken and will flee once all remaining combats have been resolved.
4. Panic tests
All units within 6" of a friendly unit that has broken or been destroyed must
take an immediate Panic test.
5. Flee!
Fleeing troops move directly away from the largest enemy unit involved in
the combat. If the unit normally moves 6" or less it flees 2D6". If it normally
moves more than 6" it flees 3D6". Fleeing units ignore movement penalties
for difficult ground and obstacles.
6. Pursuit
Victorious units will pursue fleeing troops 2D6" if their normal Movement
is 6" or less, 3D6" if their normal Movement is greater than 6". A victorious
unit that slays all of its opponents may also make a pursuit move; this is
worked out exactly the same as a normal pursuit move. If this score is equal
to or greater than the score rolled by the unit it is pursuing, the fleeing unit
is destroyed. Pursuers ignore movement penalties for difficult ground and
obstacles. If the pursuit move carries them into a fresh enemy unit this
counts as a new charge and is resolved in the following turn.
Restraining pursuit. A unit may restrain its pursuit by rolling equal to or
less than its Leadership value on 2D6. Units that are fighting from a building
or other defended position can automatically restrain a pursuit. Declare you
are not pursuing before your opponent rolls any dice.
SHOOTING
Resolve each units shooting one at a time, starting with weapons that
require the range to be guessed.
Declare target. A model armed with a missile weapon may choose any
enemy unit as a target if it lies within the models 90 fire arc and is in line
of sight. Only models in the front rank of the unit may fire their missile
weapons unless the unit is positioned on a hill, in which case up to two
ranks may fire.
Measure range. Measure the range to the target. If targets are out of range
the shots miss automatically.
Roll to hit. A dice roll of 1 is always a miss.
